This service guide provides you with the information necessary to troubleshoot the Golden Technologies
Buzzaround Carry On GB120. The troubleshooting scenarios in this manual consist of procedures that
enable you to systematically trace and correct faults in the system. Appendices A and B include instructions
on how to measure voltage and continuity with a multimeter.
Before troubleshooting, check the following:
Make sure the battery pack is seated securely.
Visually check terminals for corrosion. Check wires for missing insulation.
Make sure there are no blown fuses.
Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged and in good working order. When possible, keep a
known good battery pack in your shop at all times. The Buzzaround Carry On uses (1) 15AH or
6.5AH Lithium Ion battery pack. Problems that surface during troubleshooting are often due to the
fact that the battery pack is not fully charged or can not hold a charge.
Make sure that the electrical connections are secure. Unplug the connectors and make sure all the
pins in the connectors are seated securely. If necessary, push any unseated pins back into their
connector housings to securely seat them.
If you get to a point during troubleshooting where you cannot continue, call
Technical Support at 800-624-6374.
